We head onto Day 2 with the Figo and we are having a fun time for sure. All of us have certain places in our head which hold some value, be it emotional or maybe its just a place where you want to chill and relax. Keeping that in mind, we decided to head to one of our favorite driving spots in the city. In a city like Mumbai, its almost impossible to find a place which is scenic, relaxing and close to nature. Fortunately we have a place which gets a wee bit close to this and we take the Figo around for a drive.
This place is close to the Mumbai – Pune highway and is located in Navi Mumbai. Winding roads, sweeping corners, breathtaking view are just a few highlights of this place. Roll your windows down and crisp fresh air is a welcome change for your lungs.
Question time now.
Q. Which is your favorite driving location and what makes it special for you?
Get going. Based on yesterdays answers we are sure you are having a good time participating.

Wow. i cant imagine this is in mumbai. i love palm beach road in navi mumbai. only place where you can drive fast and flat out.
July 27th, 2010 at 9:19 pm
driving in ghats is my fav location with figo cause with those twist and turns it makes u feel that u in a smooth jolly ride with that soft well designed seats which doesnt make you go left or right during the turns..(to be specific the seat is designed in a way that the driver shouldnt glide away during each turns..u may notice it while driving it in beautiful ghat sections of india)

monsoon adds on to such places. my fav is the mumbai pune expressway, more in the rains. perfect scenery and icing is masala chai at the food mall.

If I had a Figo I would luv to take it to the race track, only if it had the 1.6 Fiesta engine.
July 27th, 2010 at 9:48 pm
For me the best driving road is the Amby valley road, it has lots of nice turns and inclines and you almost never find any traffic there.
If I am driving around in my Figo then its the perfect place for me to go Fida with its handling.
July 27th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
Great Ocean Drive is the best. Scenic views along the coast, twists & twirls makes it the best drive.
July 27th, 2010 at 10:33 pm
My boyfriend Varun has 4 cars and now I am pestering him to get a Figo for me, my birthday is coming. I don’t drive buy my driver knows some sexy roads for a romantic drive. I like western express highway the most, cool, calm and collected.
July 27th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
I love to drive at hill close to belapur (Navi mumbai), it is so relaxing. The 1st time i went there was very special for me, I was there with my close pal…i wanted to unwind my stress n release my tension with the breeze..Its extremely beautiful during rains..It revives me completely
i love to park my car n sit on d bonnet n feel the sense of freedom..
July 27th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
mumbai goa highway is the best place to drive. well maintained roads, scenic and nice photography locales on the way.
July 28th, 2010 at 1:46 am
For me the best place to drive depends solely on the car. I like to take the less taken road so I always prefer to take my Gypsy to the mountains. The Figo can’t feel at home there, so I shall take a car like the Figo to the GQ.
July 28th, 2010 at 6:48 am
it is a car with sharp tails and eagle’s eye.
July 28th, 2010 at 9:22 am
The SMART FIGO’S SMARTER DRIVING EXPERIENCE CAN BE WELL FELT IN THE EAST COAST ROAD, CHENNAI(FOR SPEED—whizzzzzzz…….) & ALSO ON THE COOL BREEZE OF OOTY-KODAIKANAL ROAD(FOR FEEL—mmmhhhhhh………)
July 28th, 2010 at 10:13 am
Chennai to Ooty …Combination of hill and highway…where you can cruise and a gr8 fun while driving………
July 28th, 2010 at 10:29 am
My Favourite driving location is many but special is the route from Dehradun to Mussorie ,the best & dangerous ghat to drive. Really great………
July 28th, 2010 at 10:33 am
I think the leh ladakh highway (the one seen in 3 idiots) is an amazing place to drive. i would not mind driving the Figo at Ford’s track at chennai as that will give me a chance to push the figo to the limit in a safe environment.
July 28th, 2010 at 11:22 am
i think the best place to drive is the ghat section in lonavala on NH4.
July 28th, 2010 at 11:59 am
WOW…!! What an idea to get on a pleasant drive this monsoon.
Being in Bengaluru, it sets me up for some enchanting options.
But the paramount choice is drive to Nandi Hills.
Nandi Hills is a small station on top of a mountain which arises some 600 meters out of the vast plains around Bengaluru! What used to be the favorite summer getaway of Tipu Sultan; is now a weekend drive spot with its awesome fort, sprawling lawns and two ancient temples.
The feel of the blue sky with lush green landscape is breathtaking, and the views you can have down the mountain over small villages surrounded by fields take you out of this world. It is a awesome drive to the top of the hill.
For me best pal is my car, I love to drive it very far.
Its fun, it’s cool; it reminds me of the days in school.
Cursing to Nandi hills in a Figo will be a Bingo..!
July 28th, 2010 at 12:23 pm
I forgot to add that on my favourite driving road I would love to have the song hotel california beating in the backdrop, now that is what I call a drive.
July 28th, 2010 at 12:42 pm
My favourite road to drive the Bandra reclamation, rapchik road with awesome curves.
July 28th, 2010 at 2:30 pm
Hi Jagdeesh….. i have not mentioned Chennai to Ooti road… i mentioned in Chennai ECR Road we can cruise and apart from that on Ooty to Kadaikanal road(via Pollachi, Metupalayam) we can have fun(in my point of view)….. Plz go through my review again. May be you can agree my point. Have a Very Good Afternoon…..
July 28th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
I am shocked nobody mentioned the Ali Baug road which is the most romantic place to drive.
July 28th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
this is the parsik hills in CBD BELAPUR…. if i m not wrong

July 28th, 2010 at 5:14 pm

July 28th, 2010 at 6:47 pm

July 28th, 2010 at 10:10 pm
For me its Chennai to Pondicherry East coast road drive..
July 29th, 2010 at 1:05 am
the view is mindblowing. waiting for day 3.
July 29th, 2010 at 1:28 am
I like to test a cars limits…..how fast can they really go,thats why i like The Delhi Gurgaon Expressway……. THE ” 24km road of Delhi Gurgaon Border on NH-8 with 32 lanes” is the best for testing any vehicles limits.There iam the king.I like cutting in traffic which is quite fun when you don’t have to stop coz of traffic jams,etc’s.Figo’s proformance was cool it went all the way up to 150 kph.
July 29th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
I LOVE palm beach road in NAVI MUMBAI especially in rains.I use to have a long drive with my beautiful girlfriend.There we can drive car fast and smooth with seat belts and with some loving songs….
July 29th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
my favorite driving location is from village roads to 4 way track in India newly constructed from Delhi to Kashmir and makes no tired when I drive my son in law`s Ford Figo (which purchased recently in Trichy) as it feels special for me.
July 30th, 2010 at 5:34 am
I would like it to drive from hazira to surat city daily as soon as I leave the company. It would be nice if my lover is seated in the same car because this special car will make me special to my lover.
July 30th, 2010 at 9:45 am
wow this is amazing scenic beauty .. india at its best ..
July 30th, 2010 at 12:56 pm
I would like to drive across the whole of Europe in this beast.
July 31st, 2010 at 2:37 am
Good, Best and Amazing drivers express their feelings not by smiling or crying , but always by “driving”
And if its about expressing and impressing others by ur driving, then there is only one way… “THE MUMBAI -PUNE EXPRESSWAY “.
Indias first six-lane,5 tunneled expressway… in almost 2 hours it connects Mumbai with Pune..
They have made the upper speed limit as 80 ,fortunately no one follows it coz everybody knows that only above 80..its sexy..
However the toll is not free and which is again sumwher around 80
So be there sum day when ur free , and just see how you drive ur Maruti lyk a Ferrari…
July 31st, 2010 at 10:22 pm
My favorite location for a drive in my Figo is the DND EXPRESSWAY (delhi-noida-delhi).. its the most beautiful 27km stretch of 4 lanes to see what this car can actually do ;D
its my best drive location coz its the place where u can make this car roar upto 160km/hr without having to worry with sound blasting through d speakers like its going to explode!
this is the ideal place to actually realize how amazing this Figo is with its amazing handling,acceleration, turning and of course Safety..
July 31st, 2010 at 11:25 pm
favorite location? actually i am not going to pen down a location exactly.. i feel that this superb handling car should be fun to drive and if so, then wherever i go, the location will become my favorite
ok here comes my location.. i really don’t know where it is.. let me describe my dream location.. an empty stretch.. a rainy day.. windows up, A/C on, romantic music, i am driving, my girl friend sitting next to me.. no twists, no turns, no vehicles.. and mainly no cops.. after completing that drive, straight to a clear water beach.. cool breeze, seeing sunset, holding ice cream, sitting on the bonnet of my figo.. man, now thats the location..
P.S : dont go alone.. it would be the worst location..
July 31st, 2010 at 11:40 pm
my favorite drive is from dehradun to nainital. very beautiful strech and very dangerous too but with all the safety features the figo offers its a smooth stress free drive.
August 1st, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Ford Figo is currently the classiest hatchback on Indian roads….! Looks so sleek and sophisticated and is affordable too
August 4th, 2010 at 10:22 am
My friend has decide to buy Figo .. i have recommended this link to him in order to get the feel of Figo.. and how it performs, etc,,
August 12th, 2010 at 10:37 am
